He Has Arisen
at the end of the Sabbath day on the first day in the passion week
both Marys went to the sepulcher for Jesus' body they did seek
but before them stood an angel wearing raiment white as snow
he told them "fear not" as the one they seeked had to go
Jesus has arisen as He said He would
go to the disciples and tell them that they should
go to Galilee and on Jesus they should wait
go to Galilee and start spreading the faith
the Pharisees and Sadducees of Jesus they did fear
thinking like politicians, they plotted to remove Him away from here
they did not like His attitude nor would accept His beliefs
they treated Him worse that a murderer, worse than a common thief
they had Him abused, tortured and then crucified
they knew not what they were doing, they thought God would be on their sides
they refused to believe that He was God's earthly Son
they could not perceive that He was the Anointed One
who was sent as our appointed Savior
to cleanse us of our sinful behavior
yet He expired upon that wooden cross
and we have all suffered from that great loss
but Father God is a god of mercy and forgivingness
despite man's treatment of His son, to us He still does bless
so be mindful of the things in this world that you may or may not perceive
just discern with The Holy Spirit and in God just believe
